92 fuel lines on 94?

[mrcheapyasui]

Hello,

 

I am in the process of pulling the ej22 engine from my 94 non turbo legacy wagon. Things are going well except I managed to crush one of the metal fuel lines at the motor when I was taking off the fuel hose.

 

I found someone selling the entire hard fuel pipe assembly to replace, but it is for a 92 turbo. Will it fit on my 94 non turbo?

 

If that doesn't work some other ideas:

*Heating up metal and trying to uncrush it with pliers? This seems kind of sketchy especially since it is a fuel line.

*cutting the crushed part of the tube off, and extending the hose and connecting it to a nice straight section under the intake manifold. I see people who run hoses all the way to the fuel rails for the parallel mod, so I think this will work. I just need to get a tool to form a barb (bubble flare?) at the end where I cut off the pipe.

 

Thanks,

Kevin

Do you mean the metal fuel lines that are under the intake manifold?

Yes, I am thinking to replace the lines under the manifold.

I think I have set for an na 96 2.2 around here somewhere. They are pretty different from year to year and emissions stuff though

If you go the flexible route, make sure the parts guy understand both "High Pressure" and "Fuel". If he brings you some crappy line like you'd use on the windshield wipers you'll be in trouble later.

FYI I bought the hard fuel lines that go under the intake for a 92 and the do in fact fit on my 94. Thanks!
